Chapter 143
“50 people…”
The mayor of Changlu Town suddenly had tears in his eyes.
This number is already the upper limit of the number of people that can be teleported at one time by an ordinary teleportation array.
Being teleported here at this time, he must know what it means.
Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew that this town was destined to be ruined.
The health of [Fortifications·City Walls] can be seen on the lord's panel. At this moment, the number is decreasing at an alarming rate. Even if he spends a lot of points and resources to repair it all the time, it is of no avail.
The shortest time could be three or four days, the longest could be five or six days...even the mayor himself didn't expect to be able to hold out longer.
The territory was destroyed and the lord's contract was automatically terminated. His heart bleeds when he thinks that the town he has worked hard to build for several years will soon be destroyed.
And this is even though the vast majority of elite and high-level players in Evergreen Town chose to stay.
In towns like those where elite players took the lead in fleeing, with no one to stop the monsters, the city walls would only be damaged faster. I'm afraid that by the time the city is breached, most people would not have had time to escape.
By then, waves of monsters will flood into the city, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Without the city walls, facing the onslaught of the beast tide, even the elite players would not have the courage to say they could survive.
The mayor of Evergreen Town took out almost all the funds on the town's account, as well as all his savings over the years, and frantically repaired the city walls while reducing the CD of the teleportation array.
But he was still not sure whether he could get all the residents out before the town was captured.
The speed at which the system repairs the city walls, the frequency of monster attacks, and the CD of the teleportation array are all fixed. The biggest variable is the output of the combat players.
There are still enough combat players on the city wall. They keep killing monsters and can help the town hold out for a while longer.
In the end, when all the players die and the rest start to use the teleportation array to leave, the health bar of the city wall will inevitably drop rapidly like an avalanche.
And now, a town has taken the initiative to send support personnel...
The mayor of Evergreen Town could not hide his excitement and waved his hands hurriedly, "Quick, let them come over."
The operating employee responded and clicked to agree.
The teleportation array was shining brightly, and everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and then a large group of people appeared in front of them.
There were even summoners who were unaware of the situation here, and released their summoned beasts in advance for safety reasons. Several huge and ferocious monsters crouched beside their master, making restless growls in their throats. When they appeared, their fangs almost grazed the cheeks of the residents nearby, scaring the residents waiting in line to be teleported back two steps.
Fifty people appeared together, their equipment dazzling.
Not to mention those ordinary players who had little knowledge, even the elite players and the mayor who came to send their relatives were stunned.
This equipment, as well as the summoned beast beside it, look extraordinary at first glance!
When players enter the territory, the lord automatically gains the right to view their basic information such as name, age, and occupation level.
Trembling, he turned on the panel.
"Level 82", "Level 83", "Level 84", "Level 82", "Level 81"...
The mayor of Evergreen Town was shocked.
Did Guangming Town send all the top 50 rankings of their town together?
...No, what kind of town has such a high average level? Why hadn't he heard of the name of Guangming Town before?
There is also a designated teleportation point for Nuannuan Hot Springs. Are you kidding? Where did this come from?
His mind was in a mess.
After a quick look, among these 50 people, there are more than 20 players above level 80, accounting for almost half! The leading mage's personal panel clearly showed level 85, which was higher than the strongest player in Evergreen Town.
The remaining half were all above level 75, and the vast majority were level 78 or 79.
The rest of the people who wanted to come had to wait in line at the back because their levels were not high enough and had to wait for a while. In addition to Jiang Qing's team and some high-level players, the first to be teleported over were the leader and deputy leader of the Guangming Town official team, as well as a team with the best average strength.
Let these elites come first, which will be most efficient.
He thought it was good enough to receive assistance, and the mayor of Evergreen Town had no hope at all for the level of the players coming. But he never expected that the quality of the team coming to support him would be so high.
When he came to his senses, his whole body began to tremble.
There are even many players at level 30 or 40 on the city wall now, trying their best to output damage with their few long-range skills.
The longer it can be delayed, the better... Everyone thought so, so almost all the players in Changlu Town who had some fighting power went there.
And a level 80 player's attack power is equal to that of dozens of such players! A well-trained and experienced level 80 team can even kill three in and three out of a small group of monsters.
This is the power of the elite.
“That’s great, that’s great…”
He cried and laughed.
If we can hold on for one more day, we can send out hundreds more people.
When he thought that more people could survive, he even put aside the sadness of losing his lordship.
*
"We can't hold on any longer here, hurry up!"
"Help! There's a flying monster coming up!"
"Why are you panicking? The city wall may look like a wall, but it can actually defend against attacks from flying monsters. Is this your first day to know this? Archers, draw your bows!"
"No, aim before you shoot!"
On the walls of Changlv Town, the screams of rookies and the roars of veterans could be heard everywhere.
Many players are not at high levels. Although they come here to serve as soldiers, they have limited combat experience. It is their first time facing so many monsters. It is good enough that they do not lose their legs. Their minds are in a mess and they can't think of any skills to use. They have to rely on others to remind them.
Many veterans also have to give input themselves and can only give a few reminders whenever they have the chance. At one moment, the damage overflowed here, and a bunch of powerful skills with extremely long CD hit the C-level monster. At another moment, the damage over there was not calculated well, allowing the monster to find an opportunity to escape from the skill network, and its head hit the city wall, causing even more serious damage.
If you're not careful, you might see a rookie casting an ultimate skill against a monster that can rebound damage, while another rookie next to him pierces the back of his teammate's head with an arrow, which almost gives people a cardiac arrest.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
The players were exhausted, and looking at the endless tide of monsters below, they couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
They had been fighting continuously for two hours and their mana bars were almost empty. Even if they used up all the recovery items in their bags, they still couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.
But the tide of monsters showed no signs of stopping.
One person yelled, "When will it end? So it's two waves a day, each lasting 12 hours? At least give people some time to recover and regroup."
"I have no more power..."
"Me too……"
Everyone discovered to their horror that their magic power might not even be enough to sustain this wave of monsters.
Without mana, all skills cannot be used, and you can only use normal attacks.
That's no different from scraping.
Another A-level monster raised its head and roared, with light emanating from its body, as if it was about to launch a charge.
An archer looked at his low remaining mana and gritted his teeth before drawing his bow.
The bowstring was pulled taut, but before the skill could be released, a dark cloud floated in from somewhere above his head. Lightning flashed between the clouds, as if they were gathering strength. The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down with a loud bang, charring the snow.
The players in the front subconsciously shrank their heads, covered their ears, and looked in shock as hundreds of leading monsters wailed and fell to the ground, turning into countless pixels.
A rare blank area appeared under the city.
"The mage's level 85 skill, Thunderbolt?" A mage player came to his senses and said in disbelief, "I saw a master from another town use it before! Who upgraded it?"
She quickly came to her senses.
No, the highest level player in Evergreen Town is not a mage, and even if he leveled up during the battle, he couldn't use such a move.
There seemed to be movement behind them. Everyone turned around in confusion, only to see a group of unfamiliar faces rushing towards them in a mighty manner.
Isn’t the leader a mage player?
"We are here to help."
Time was tight and Jiang Qing had no time to explain. She flipped her hand and took something out of her backpack, turned her head, and happened to meet the eyes of the mage player who had just recognized her.
The staff in the latter's hand dimmed, and she was forced to retreat to the back of the team and stop attacking. Jiang Qing took a look and realized that she had no magic power left.
"Open your mouth."
When seeing a big guy of the same profession, everyone will have a bit of admiration in their heart. The mage player didn't have time to think about it and opened his mouth.
Something was stuffed in her mouth, and the tip of her tongue tasted sweet. She chewed subconsciously, and a strong milky aroma spread in her mouth. It had a dense texture, and it turned out to be a piece of pastry.
Is it to let them eat something good before they die?
She thought with a smile on her face.
The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
…………pastry! !
Where do the pastries come from in the game!
The little wizard just half opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Qing stupidly. He couldn't speak clearly and murmured vaguely: "Am I dreaming?"
In the dream, a big boss descended from the sky and not only solved the monster tide, but also brought sweet pastries.
Xu Ruixi beside him laughed: "It's not a dream, eat quickly."
The little wizard was very obedient, perhaps because she hadn't eaten something like this for a long time, or perhaps because the doomsday-like scene in front of her made her cherish it even more. She covered her mouth, chewed carefully bit by bit, and slowly savored the sweet aftertaste in her mouth.
After she swallowed the last bite and felt her stomach full, she squinted her eyes happily and said, "It tastes so good."
"Taste isn't important, look at your blue bar."
Jiang Qing waved his staff and controlled a group of monsters that were about to move forward. The monsters in the imprisonment circle roared like trapped beasts, and were killed by another group of players in the blink of an eye.
Because of the control magic, the attack is more focused, aiming becomes easier, the overflow of mana is very little and can be cleared up cleanly.
The players' eyes lit up and they exchanged glances excitedly, but Jiang Qing turned around after releasing his skills and spoke to the little mage.
When the young wizard heard this, although he didn't understand, he immediately looked at his mana value.
Then he was shocked to find that the sky blue mana bar was recovering at an incredible speed.
"What's going on?" the little wizard stammered.
"Don't ask, just eat."
"Here, these foods can speed up the recovery of mana. After putting them in your backpack, check their properties and eat within the upper limit. Eating too much will be useless."
"And these. This one increases attack speed, this one increases intelligence, and there's one that increases the effect of a certain spell... Hey, you decide for yourself."
Jiang Qing threw out one thing after another like Doraemon.
Without time to explain, he ran off to find the next person.
It was difficult for a mage player like her to burst out at such a fast speed, moving flexibly among the crowd and disappearing in a few seconds.
The little wizard was left alone with a pile of food. It took him a long time to come back to his senses by the tempting aroma.
She took a deep breath, salivating, and then suddenly woke up, "Wait, I haven't paid yet!"
These things need a lot of points, right?
“No money, it’s free!!”
A voice came back from far away in the crowd.
Little Mage: “…”
She was wrong. This was not a dream. She wouldn't even dare to dream such a big thing!
"If you really want to pay, come here and spend money after this crisis is over." A stranger player next to her reached out and pointed at a snack box in her arms, "It's fun."
The young wizard lowered his head and saw the words "Nuannuan Hot Spring" printed on the side of the snack box.
She repeated the name silently in her heart, swallowed a piece of dessert, and felt hope rising in her heart again.
…
Everyone who came to Evergreen Town was fully prepared, carrying a backpack full of recovery items. If they only used them themselves, they would never be able to use them all.
They didn't intend to use it themselves.
Jiang Qing looked around a few times and found several players with significantly higher levels in the city defense team to initiate a transaction, striving to get the elite combat forces back to the battlefield first.
Xu Ruixi's plan was much simpler. He found an empty space and shouted, "I have mana recovery items here. They are free and better than those sold in the mall. Anyone who doesn't have mana can come and get them now!!"
Sure enough, many people were attracted.
Recovery items are the most needed things on the battlefield right now.
Others followed suit, either going to the leader of the official Evergreen Town group and captains of various teams to distribute supplies, or finding open spaces to distribute them themselves.
In the blink of an eye, there was not much left in the backpack.
When the players in Evergreen Town saw the various snacks, they were filled with questions, but soon, the question of "Why is there xx in the game" was replaced by the shock of "Is this thing too useful?"
Lightning spell attack damage increased by 20%.
Spell recovery speed +20 points/s.
Intelligence +4.
Critical hit rate +3%.
Critical damage +20%...
They were dazzled by the various buffs.
It took them a lot of effort to calm down, and a few elite players took the lead in distributing the supplies.
“There are chicken feet!”
"There are also cold dishes here. They smell so good."
At this critical moment of life and death, everyone could actually smile with a sense of ease on their face.
Xu Ruixi found Jiang Qing, looked at his backpack that had deflated in the blink of an eye, and smacked his lips, "Fortunately I bought 99 pieces, otherwise I might not have enough to send out. You don't know, I felt guilty when I was shopping just now, for fear that the boss would think I was taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of him."
"She wouldn't do that," Jiang Qing said. "If the boss really wanted to prevent people from taking advantage of her, she could just restock the shelves more slowly or simply put out less stock. But when we went to buy them, the shelves were full. She probably guessed what we were going to do with them."
To be more precise, she felt that Shu Mo probably guessed that there would be players like himself who would pay out of their own pockets to give away food for free to the residents of the disaster-stricken town, and also guessed that there would be people who would take advantage of the situation.
It's just hard to tell the difference, so I just turn a blind eye.
But isn’t this also a kind of kindness?
Jiang Qing looked around. The players were very efficient and most of them had already eaten the food brought by the hot spring. When I attacked again, the damage was indeed different.
The players were so excited that they almost jumped up.
When she came, she saw from afar that the morale on the city wall was low, and her heart sank, but at this moment, the heavy atmosphere just now had been swept away.
Even without all kinds of magical effects, the deliciousness of the snacks alone is enough to make players fight hard like they were given a shot of chicken blood.
They have to survive. Only by surviving can they have the chance to eat such delicious food again.
Fu Yiming and a few other melee players who followed along, relying on their high levels, skills and courage, were organizing other melee players to fight outside the city together.
With your back against the city wall, you can retreat at any time if anything goes wrong. Although the tactic is a bit crude, it will give more than half of the players in the city who are unable to attack remotely a place to use their skills.
The leader and deputy leader of Guangming Town also took over part of the command at this time. "There is a mud monster in the small square formation in the northeast. Lightning-type soldiers go there to support. There is a damage boost! Hey, that archer, save your arrows. The mud monster is immune to physical attacks!"
"These monsters are tree spirits. Water mages, remember to use other skills!"
The rookies had little sense of the game, but were very obedient. With their help, the elite players in Evergreen Town felt much more relaxed and could concentrate on the battle.
Although there were only 50 people, they had the strength, supplies and experience. With their help, the scene quickly became orderly.
The overall strength of Changlv Town is actually similar to that of Guangming Town, and it is even stronger than Guangming Town before Nuannuan Hot Spring opened. It only panicked later because of insufficient endurance.
When the reinforcements arrived with the supplies from the warm hot springs, they ate and drank for a while, their stomachs were full, their bodies were replenished, and they felt full of energy. Suddenly, miraculously, they felt like they were back to normal.
"How does that saying go? Only when you have a full stomach can you win the battle." Xu Ruixi put his hands on his hips and sighed sincerely.
